The boomerang would be more effective, but does not look nearly as good, and doesn't have a soul whatsoever.

The Boomerang may be short and stocky but it has nice lines over all.

The 520 is lean and more angular, but sort of clumsy looking with that long straight cowl and cockpit set so far back.

I'll bet when you pull the trigger, the Boomerang cockpit smells like an old bull crock snorting rancid cordite stuffed wallaby. But, the D.520 smells like front row to a Can Can at Madame GiGi's. The D.520 looks like something Toulouse-Lautrec would put on canvas.

The D.520 would be an excellent addition to the early war plane set. Hopefully its' introduction would lead the way for others like the C200 and Ki-27.

For the love of fine French dining everywhere. We need this plane to balance our ball park franks, bratwurst, fish n chips, rice balls, pasta, borsht and reindeer oysters.

And while you are at it Waffle, I'd like a side of crock tail and wallaby stew...... :devil

+1 I think this bird would be an excellent addition to the collection.

That is a long way from spinner to seat. +1 I had no idea, and thanks for the history, seems like its usually so glossed over that you'd think all that happened is the Bish er British saved their planes for the BOB after losing a bunch over France and that French planes were the Le Cars of the skies.
